What’s This Happening At Liberty Public Market?!

Liberty Public Market (LPM) is turning one and the fine vendors of SD’s only seven-day market are going all out with a ginormous event of Willy Wonka proportions!

As a public market with almost 30 different vendors, there’s no doubt that LPM’s first birthday should be celebrated in a comprehensive way, but one particular vendor-couple decided that a simple bash just wouldn’t do.

That’s right, Tony Morales and wife Leanne, owners of gourmet food store Pacific Provisions, decided to harness their chocolatier-supplier connections to create one wild Willy Wonka-style Golden Ticket event!

It means what you think it means.

Head to LPM by March 31st and you will find over 300 Belgian dark chocolate bars, each lined in a gold wrapper revealing a prize of sorts!

With participation from over 15 of the market’s vendors, every bar in this glorious event is a winner (with giveaways like 10% off your next purchase, free meals, and more), yet one lucky chocolate connoisseur will unwrap “The Golden Ticket” – a $500 value!

Tony, Leanne, and the fine participating vendors, we’ve got two words for you: mad respect.

Bars can be purchased at any of the 15 participating shops for $10 each, while supplies last.

And to add a little twist to your fate, the big box of chocolates was mixed before delivered! So stop by Roast sandwich shop to buy your golden chocolate bar, and you may unwrap a certificate for a free and legendary “Cookie Shooter” from Pacific Provisions (if you don’t know about these, get familiar)!

These one-ounce shot glasses made of pure cookie goodness are coated with chocolate on the inside then filled with your choice of Pacific Provisions’ home-made Bourbon Vanilla Milk, Mocha Almond Cold Brew Coffee, a simple chocolate milk or more!

Yeah… Come to think of it, maybe the right thing to do is start your Willy Wonka journey with a stop by Pacific Provisions for one of these shooters and see where the day leads!
